Open RAN: Design options from networks to memory
Open RAN networks offer network architecture options and memory-design options in 5G radios.
DIO card completes PCIe instrument family
Spectrum instrumentation’s family of PCIe instrument cards also includes digitizers and waveform generators. Automated test systems often need to generate and measure analog signals. They often need to provide digital I/O for status monitoring and control of test hardware or industrial process equipment. With the addition of the M2p.7515-x4 digital I/O card, Spectrum Instrumentation completes […]
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces: Video interview with standards group chair
Dr. Arman Shojaeifard of Interdigital Europe explains the concept behind reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and how the standards group he leads will develop those standards.
Economy VNAs feature units up to 20 GHz, independent CW sources for low-frequency models
Four new R&S ZNL and R&S ZNLE vector network analyzers can support up to 20 GHz of operation frequency. The economy VNAs now have the frequency range necessary to investigate even third harmonics for 5 GHz and 6 GHz band technologies, such as wireless LAN or mobile radio. The latest firmware release also includes a […]
